While Halo Infinite is largely exclusive to the Xbox family–launching on PC (Steam and Windows 10), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X this holiday season–that hasn’t stopped players from hoping the pivotal Xbox title would eventually arrive on other platforms. Though developer 343 Industries likely has no plans of porting Halo Infinite to something like the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 4, a Dreams creator decided to take matters into their own hands by recreating a portion of the gameplay reveal.

Disarmed, a visual and audio creator, took to Dreams to bring Halo Infinite to the PlayStation 4 in stunning detail. Though the video is only 41 seconds long, it takes an improbable premise–what if Halo but PS4–and brings it to life. We see Master Chief holding the classic assault rifle while strutting through a lush forest. It’s extremely gorgeous and continues to show Dreams’ impressive power–even if there’s no way it’s happening.

Xbox held its Games Showcase livestream last week, where we got a detailed look at Halo Infinite. We learned about the game’s campaign, some new weapons (including a grappling hook), and more. The company also shared information on various other Xbox titles, including the setting of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, the reveal of a new Fable game by the Forza Horizon developer Playground Games, and more.

Figurines are cool, but figurines playing old Sega consoles are even cooler. Max Factory’s FigmaPlus Sega console accessories are now available to pre-order via Good Smile US, and they come with everything you need to get your Figma action figures playing old games. The entire set costs $35, ships January 2021, and comes with a Sega Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, Master System, and Game Gear as well as a game for each and hands that can hold the respective controllers.

Each mini console is based on its Japanese release, so your Genesis is actually a Mega Drive and your Sega Saturn is in grey, black, and blue. Each of the five consoles also comes with a controller and its own game that can be taken out of its case and inserted into the system. These games include Sonic the Hedgehog for the Mega Drive, Virtua Fighter for Saturn, Space Channel 5 for Dreamcast, Alex Kidd in Miracle World for Master System, and Puyo Puyo for Game Gear.

Fortnite doesn’t have a second-chance mechanic in its battle royale mode, so one player added his own version of the Gulag in the game’s creative mode. It’s just as gross and claustrophobic as it is in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Reddit user and Fortnite designer u/NO-SWEAT-POLICE posted his creation to the Fortnite Creative subreddit, asking players to test the arena out for him. They even included the different variations of the small map.

The Gulag has become a popular addition to the battle royale genre. It gives people one last chance to get back to the action in Verdansk. Players have recreated it in other games, like this Minecraft version, to help simulate the feeling of getting one last chance at survival outside of Call of Duty.
